CHESHIRE East Council has warned of flooding risk in areas of Wilmslow.

A spokeswoman said: "With slightly milder temperatures and rain forecast in the short term, there is a risk of localised flooding across Cheshire East. We would ask drivers to take extra care at this time."

All priority routes across the area were gritted overnight in response to weather forecasts for freezing temperatures and snow on higher ground in the area.

"In the event of freezing temperatures, we will continue to manage our salt reserves carefully. The Government has requested that all local Authorities further economise the use of salt by 40 – 50 per cent."
